Swedish game developer Coffee Stain Studios is back with a dose of quirky chaos in Goat Simulator 3, now available on iOS and Android platforms. Renowned for its unique mix of humor and mayhem, the game invites players to step into the hooves of a mischievous goat causing havoc in an open-world setting. From supercharged headbutts to offbeat accessories like jetpacks and rocket launchers, the game thrives on its absurdity.
The mobile version of Goat Simulator 3 mirrors the features found on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC, complete with the cherished co-op multiplayer support. Enriched with diverse goat avatars, a range of quests, mini-games, and playful physics challenging traditional game mechanics, the mobile game promises an engaging experience.
Originally conceived as a humorous demo during 2014’s Global Game Jam, Goat Simulator captured hearts with its glitchy gameplay and eccentric concept. Embracing its imperfections, Coffee Stain Studios decided to release it as a full game, preserving its quirky bugs as a unique feature.
Interestingly, despite its name, Goat Simulator 3 is the second release in the series, arriving eight years after the original. The extended gap between releases was attributed in part to the creative challenge of intentionally crafting a game that is both “buggy and stupid,” as explained by the game’s creative director.
Priced at $13 on mobile platforms, Goat Simulator 3 may appear steep compared to other mobile games. However, its distinctive style and captivating gameplay offer a refreshing departure from conventional gaming norms. Catering to players seeking unorthodox fun, the game blends intentional flaws with a touch of wild fantasy. Its charm lies in encouraging players to embrace the bizarre, proving that sometimes, a bit of controlled chaos can provide a delightful escape from reality.
